"Where's Julie Now?"

     Few people know that Kenneth Hagin had two considerably different faith messages.  This is an interesting fact that has wide implications for us Word of Faith people.

"The Origin of Spiritual Warfare"

     A new series I am recording on the subject of Spiritual Warfare.  The first recording is finished.  I believe this series will surprise you.  I think most of our current spiritual warfare teachings are innacurate and frankly a waste of time.  More will be added to the series as I have the time.

     According to this report in Christianity Today, Benny Hinn Ministries and Joyce Meyer Ministries are "instituting reforms without waiting for the committee to complete its review."  I commend both ministries for being pro-active in seeing to it that all things are done "decently and in order," purposing to be open and transparent, and submitting to commonly accepted principles of public accountability.  Sadly, the responses of the other ministries under investigation are characterized as being : "incomplete" or "not responsive."  Those ministries are:  Eddie Long, Creflo Dollar, Kenneth Copeland, and Paula and Randy White.  As I make the case in "Grassley Investigation. . . A Religious Freedom Issue?," I see no legal, moral, or scriptural reason not to tell the truth when asked.   

     We are bearing great fruit through this website.  We've had nearly 250,000 hits in 2007 through 2008.  Our recordings and articles have been downloaded in 73 countries.  We are bearing great fruit for the Lord, and I am thankful.  I love ministering over the internet and in local churches as a guest speaker, but I am staying open to the leading of the Lord.  I am receptive to the idea of returning to pastoring, ministering primarily in one place, and developing a local congregation in the things of the Spirit over the course of time.  I am therefore making myself available to return to serving as a pastor.  I'm sending out some feelers, and am getting some good responses.  Here is a copy of my resume in case you know of a church that desires the things of the Spirit and are searching for a Senior Pastor:

The First Podcasts are now ready!

What is a podcast?

     A podcast is a format that allows articles or recordings to be downloaded more easily to Ipods and directly to hard drives.  All of the articles and recordings on this website will continue to be offered as they have been in the past--as mp3's and PDF's.  But now as we have time to convert each article and recording, they will also be offered in three different podcasts:

       One:  Living the Spirit-Filled Life Podcast

                 --Consisting of Mel Montgomery's audio and video sermons.

       Two:  Voices of the Faith Giants Podcast

                 --Rare recordings by the Goodwins, Kenneth Hagin, Stanley

                   Frodsham, Howard Carter, and others.

     Three:  Word of Faith Reformation Podcast

                  --PDF teaching articles by Mel Montgomery concerning

                    speaking in tongues, prophetic ministry and other subjects,

                    along with corrective articles dealing with teachings and 

                    practices of the Word of Faith message that have become

                    extreme, unbiblical, and need to be reformed.

How Do I Receive a Podcast?

     Podcasts are offered through a variety of sites.  Probably the most common and easy to use is i-tunes.  The service is free.  You will need to download i-tunes to your computer.  You can do so by clicking on the following link:

 http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

     Click on "Download iTunes Free."

     After downloading is complete, scroll down this page, and click on the I Tunes button. 

     Please understand that these are just the initial podcasts.  There is one in each category.  More will be added as I have the time. 

Living the Spirit-Filled Life Podcast  

Rev. Mel Montgomery developed into a balanced prophetic ministry under  the oversight of the Rev. and Mrs. J.R. Goodwin who had also mentored:  Kenneth Hagin Sr., John Osteen, and several others who later developed into Charismatic leaders with world-wide ministries.   In these audio and video recordings, Brother Mel draws from the Scriptures, from Pentecostal history, and from principles taught him by the Goodwins to help believers understand the Holy Spirit, His gifts, His ways, and His leading.

Voices of the Faith Giants Podcast 

An ever-expanding collection of rare early Pentecostal recordings gathered from around the world.  Recordings include sermons by:  F.F. Bosworth, Howard Carter, Stanley Frodsham, David Du Plessis, Brother and Sister Goodwin, T.L. Osborn, Kenneth Hagin Sr., and others.  Most of these audio sermons have only recently surfaced and are available nowhere else.  Recordings are made available through this podcast with the permission of the speakers or their heirs.

Word of Faith

 Reformation Podcast 

     The Word of Faith Move blessed millions of people around the world, but eventually sank into excess and error as it became polluted with greed, pride, and the ideas and the agendas of men.  Reformation consists of taking an honest look at a move of God, sifting out and holding on to teachings and manifestations that are biblical, casting away those that are not, and moving on with God.  In this series of articles, Brother Mel seeks the reformation of the Word of Faith and Charismatic branch of Christianity to which he belongs.

A Closing Word From Brother Mel:

Dear Friends and Ministry Partners:

     There are many things going on in my heart right now, with the Lord pointing out to me things I had really never given much thought to.  I have poured some of these things into the articles I wrote this month, and am preparing to incorporate ideas the Lord has impressed upon me in upcoming articles.  I want to thank those of you who have contacted me and encouraged me in this work.  I thank you also for those who have sown financially into the costs involved with this website.  I appreciate all of you.

     God bless you all.

     Kind Regards,

     Brother Mel
